TRM BlogHop – Before and After

That Red Mare supplied us with a blog hop! Basically before and after pictures of your horses. Hello photo dump! Enjoy.

Beginning with Copper. See captions.

First day of ownership. He was a 11 months old.

Three or four months later…this is a huge transformation in itself.

First show at halter. Where we accumulated our only ApHC points…ha. Or half points.

At two. Wasn’t riding yet, though I’d sat on him a handful of times.

After being ridden for about three months consistently. He was three here.

Second show at halter. 3 years old.

Same show, but under saddle. We won walk/trot. He was a good boy.

Same show, but with local A in the irons. 3 years old.

In 2014 at 7. yep, I skipped a lot between 3 and 7, but how many Copper pictures can this post have really?

Now, at 9.

Now, Robin:

Right after we bought her. She was 8 months old. I was 13.

She was 4, I was 17.

At 7 in 2009. Obviously I like putting text on pictures back then…

At 11 in 2013.

With Copper, at 14 this year.

And now, Paige. Not going to be a huge difference here unless you count that baby weight…

The day I bought her, 14 years old. I wish her mane still looked like that. Kinda scraggly now.

First ride after I brought her home. 14 years old.

First show with me. Not sure if she’d ever been in an arena with that many horses…she certainly was less calm than she is at home/on the trail. Not bad though, just a little jittery. I’d only known her a couple weeks though so it unnerved me.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I own a farm in rural SWVA where I board a couple horses and keep my small (but growing) herd. I use this space to chronicle my life with my four legged friends, both equine and canine and am glad to have you tune in! :)

Paige is my most reliable mount. She is a 18 year old American Quarter horse. She is the mother of my APHA colt by Hollywood Reminic and the reason I still enjoy horses.

Copper is the only gelding in my personal herd. He is a 11 year old Appaloosa who is remarkably versatile. We’ve fought Lyme disease and some other weird lameness issues the last couples years, but hope to try our hand at dressage one day.

Joey is a 2017 dunskin colt by Hollywood Reminic and out of my AQHA mare, Paige. I am very lucky to have this little guy to bring along and I look forward to the journey.

Robin is a 16 year old breeding stock Paint mare that has been my big pet since she was a weanling and I was 12. If you’re asking who really owns the farm? It’s this mare. ;)

Emma, Chloe, Russell, and Poppy are the barn clowns. These mini donkeys have more personality than ears, if you can believe that. Poppy is Chloe and Russell’s 2017 baby.
